> Cultural Survival Quarterly

> Guest Edited by Eileen Moore Quinn

> The cover title, "Endangered Languages ? Endangered Lives" provides the
> context for our June issue. Presenting examples from Europe, Africa,
> Asia,
> Australia, and the Americas, it is guest-edited by Dr. Eileen Moore
> Quinn, a
> linguistic anthropologist who specializes in the Irish language and who
> teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge,
> Massachusetts. Included are the writings of indigenous peoples, ethnic
> minorities, research activists and scholars, some of whom compare global
>
> linguistic "crash" to worldwide loss in ecological bio-diversity. This
> special Cultural Survival Quarterly offers readable material to
> educators,
> and provides advice on how to preserve cultural and linguistic heritage.
>
> What this issue demonstrates is that no hard and fast formula for
> language
> preservation is likely to emerge. Just as each case has been the result
> of a
> unique set of historic and cultural circumstances, so too must
> revitalization or revival efforts be dovetailed to meet the needs and
> goals
> of specific linguistic communities. Dialogue and interaction, on the
> other
> hand, allow those who work in linguistic preservation to be apprised of
> constraints and accesses, strengths and liabilities, which propelled or
> retarded the efforts of others.
